Hey guys/gals,
Just thought I'd throw this out for anyone who's interested. I found an awesome book by an indie-author that I really enjoy.
It's not related to Ender at all, but I can't help but think the story was inspired by the book we love so much.
He just dropped the price on it to $.99 for Kindle/Nook. Hah, I purchased the hardback for $14 back in December. =]
Hit up the link for more details:
KINDLE/NOOK BOOK: Psion Beta (price drop to $.99) - Slickdeals.net
And let me know if you have any questions, I'm on my second read =]
Hmm I love ender i may have to try that

You really should. The reviews on Amazon are impeccable. I think the only non-5 stars came from when the book was entered in an Amazon contest, and they only got to read part of the first chapter.
It really is a book that is hard to put down.
Ill get it then thanks

NP, enjoy it!
Just saw this on SD and bought it. Can't wait to read it.
Just bought it because of this thread. I love SciFi and even if I don't like it was only a dollar.

It's a great read, and it definitely has some re-readability mojo.
Enjoying it so far.

It's great isn't it?
Kind of frustrating that books like that have to be self-published, it's a really great story.
If you hop on over to the slickdeals.net thread I posted, the author actually came and found us. He mentions a couple things about releasing the next book.
I might buy a real copy just to support him haha.
Sent from my bathroom, with toilet paper.
Excellent book!
Wish he'd hurry up with the sequal on kindle
It's like with Paul D. Harrington's Lightspeed series, although the second one came out in 2009 Amazon are only showing it as a second hand paperback for $32!

ROFL.
Hilarious.
lol. Yes, please. And I want a cookie, too!
In all seriousness, I want to make sure everything works before I pay any money. I still get force closes and log in errors multiple times a day on the XDA app as it is. Sometimes it doesn't even open and just sits on the splash screen 'waiting'. I would have donated a long time ago otherwise. I know it's just $.99, but still.
I can confirm that the xda premium app is fairly stable. Haven't encountered a FC yet.

I know what you're saying... I'm more of a "buy it now and if it doesnt work screwit" kinda guy especially if we're just talking about a buck. Either way, if the app works or doesnt work I supported the android market for what that's worth.

Well you guys should be satisfied with your expenditure, it's a pretty good little app for a buck
What we need now are Android Market gift cards like the iTunes gift cards.
Does anyone know if there are gift cards for the Amazon store?

You made us feel cheap.
I think the standard Amazon gift cards can be used in the market. Unfortunately, Canada doesn't get the app store yet, so I couldn't tell you.
The laugh was worth it to me. I chuckle every time I launch it now. I intended to buy it anyway. You improved a Monday morning at a job I hate + an evening taken up by a 3 hour class with a paper from Hell.

Chill bro. That's the thing with donations. I'm kinda too tied up to make any donations (been meaning to do so for a long time) to XDA, but if I do, I'd really prefer NOT to make a fuss out of it.
Although, from the perspective of common courtesy, I'd personally thanks any donaters. Personally.
I would definitely send individualized thank you messages. If I donated to someone, it would feel great to be thanked.

I'm looking for tips on getting a job at Sprint. I've been with Sprint for about 15 years and I've been applying there for about 4 months since I saw a "now hiring" sign on their door. I really want this job. I've applied for basically every position at every neighboring Sprint store that I'm qualified for.
Does anyone that works for a cellular provider have any advice? Or even better, does anyone work for Sprint in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area that I can use as an employee reference?
Thanks Guys
